Abstract:The applicability of the three-step BCR leaching scheme to the continuous-flow fractionation of trace metals (TM) using rotating coiled columns (RCC) has been investigated taking soil and sediment reference samples (SRM-2710, CRM-601, BCR-701) as examples. A particulate sample was retained in the rotating column as the stationary phase under the action of centrifugal forces while different eluents, used according to the original and optimised BCR protocols, were continuously pumped through. The whole procedure required 3-4 h instead of at least 50 h needed for the traditional sequential extraction. It has been shown that in comparison with batch sequential extraction procedures (SEP), the recoveries of Cd, Zn, Cu, and Pb at the first stage (most mobile and potentially dangerous acid soluble forms) are somewhat higher, if a dynamic extraction in RCC is used. Nevertheless, the distribution patterns for TM in the first two leachable fractions (acid soluble and reducible forms) are similar in most cases. Since no heating is used in RCC, the recoveries of TM at the third stage (when hydrogen peroxide is applied to oxidize the organic matter) may be incomplete and matrix-dependent. The effect of eluent volume and flow rate on the recovery of TM in different forms has been investigated. It has been shown that the kinetics of heavy metal leaching vary significantly with samples. Hence, investigating the elution profiles can provide additional important information for risk assessment of TM mobilization.
